“This is my absolutely favorite childhood picture of my husband. He was 12 years old. It was taken a day after Easter with his pet rat, that he called RATTY. His birthday was just a few weeks before Easter and my mother-in-law was going to take my husband to JC Penny for his traditional annual birthday picture. He wanted to have his picture taken with RATTY And he did! It was shortly after that JC Penney Portrait Studio adopted a policy of no animals in its studios.”

“Black permanent marker…we call it the Mr Deeds incident. It was still wet when I caught him (yes there was that much) and I got most of it off right away. He looked like he had black nail polish on for several weeks.”
